  • As long as bread (mcdonald) and entertainment (nfl) are provided who gives a shit??

  • Do you blame the system or the people effected by the system? Or do you blame both since the people were led by leashes to dumbsville?

  • When the social elites take over it's no ones fault but the dumb Americans . 

  • one may say they have chosen only the people that didn't know the answers to those questions...but damn, those people are so stupid and ignorant...and to think they vote for people who then wage wars against those countries..."i don't want to live on this planet anymore" *flies away*

  • Americans don't care about the world. And they don't have the same leadership personality cult that fixates Russians. As you saw some don't even know who their vice president is. Why because they don't worship politicians as gods on earth.

  • jesus what the fuck

  • FUCK USA, AMERICANS ARE HOMOS, I CANT WAIT FOR IRAN TO GO TO WAR WITH THOSE CUNTS, AMERICANS WILL WIN I KNOW FOR SURE BUT LOTS OF AMERICAN MOTHERS FATHERS SON AND DAUGHTERS WILL CRY WHEN THEIR SOLDIERS THOSE POOR SCUMS WILL COME HOME IN A CASKET LOL LOL BUHHHAAAA I CANT WAIT IM GONNA HAVE A PARTY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • I will never let an american call me by a negative, irish stereotype again. There's hundreds of these vids of clueless americans who don't even know what their tax money is spent on in terms of foreign policy. Embarrassing and pathetic.

  • fucking hell. these people are clueless. its no wonder americans have such an awful stereotype and so many enemies. its up to you educated liberal americans to sort these fuckers out. if you do you'll be saving the world.

  • Their school system is wrong!

    Imagina how easy is to control thoose ignorant people.

    North Korea is nothing in comparison to USA!

  • You can do this anywhere in the world and get the same result.

  • @parkarboy73 Not in my face.

  • This video makes americans look pretty ignorant, but honestly if you went to a lot of countries in the world and asks random people off the street i doubt they could answer a lot of these questions.

  • @hecktick133

    You may say this, but the other countries are not leading up to a full scale war with these countries. What media says, people know. So media in america tell you nothing, so the american people know nothing. Its across the board and the documentary 20/20 Stupid in America shos this all to be true. This is the leader!!!

    watch?v=T_AAMa_X2dM&feature=re­lated

  • @hecktick133 you are very wrong american

  • @cradle1one hahaha i'm no american

  • Vice president = Osama.

  • Dumbasses lol

  • Comment removed

  • What a joke, they will all know the name of the capital of Iran when they send all their kids there. Yet they will not be able to pronounce the name because of all the Israeli cock in their mouth. Once long ago, America you were once the bees knees, a true beauty, now you're a dirty street walker with needles hanging out of your arm and blood running down your nose while you fester in the fecal matter that is your "economy"( which is a total joke, make something for a change EH!) CANADA FOREVER.

  • @Readyforthefray Coming from the idiot who's country not only has the highest Meth use in the world but who's country is an absolute allie with the U.S. Not to mention your dumbass sits here and critisizes the U.S. while at the same time is using an American built and owned website. Perhaps you should stop using your personal computer and the internet, because they're American innovations.

  • @Readyforthefray Hey Canook, The USA doesn't make the plastic toys on the WalMart shelves anymore, and lots of other industries are 90% gone (like shoes), but we still manufacture airliners, cars, trucks, drilling equipment, motors, compressors, wire, cable, lumber, castings of all types, a vast array of food, bev, & pharma products, weapons (more than any other nation, in many types), computers, medical equipment (every kind), tools, precision instruments, robots, etc. I consult these plants.

  • Yet I have to give credits to those who turned these peoples in to clueless ones. It is bad, of course, but it takes some serious planning for ages to achieve something like that.

  • and they are occupying&fucking up countries that they cant even locate on the map.

    good job american idiots! .

    besides, well done zionazis! you drive these ships very well for your own benefits.

  • wow.. ok for the old guys but the young ones? really, wow.. their stupidity is amazing.

  • @Redi4883 Why's that, have the old ones had longer to get stupid?

  • Great Lord . And these guys are allowed to vote ! AHAA MERIC AHAAAA

  • So if I went to Moscow and did the same everyone would point out Libya, Iraq or Iran or answer such questions?

  • @swertinge07 In Russia? Hahaha, no sir.

  • @DontTreadOnMe213 I doubt there is one country were everyone can answer every question you put to them. :)

  • why do I live here dumb people give me money:)))

  • lol look like osama

  • Amurica phuck yeah!!

  • i know most of these and am from NY i don't know much about libya though.

  • Man I just pissed myself laughing at these stuiped people. I am from South Africa and I knew every answer to all of these questions. Bloody hell, what is America becomming.

  • @SteenkampG Im in America, and from what I know: the education system sucks! they teach propaganda rather than intelligent information backed by facts... and yea, im leaving the country next year xD

  • @SteenkampG F***ing draadtrekkers! that's what they are.

    Voting for a president that want to kill innocent ppl and they say, oh well... yes go a head, who cares.

  • @SteenkampG Now, here's a good question for you:

    Why would care and know something that an average Joe does care ?

  • @bamboostinger not really sure what you are trying to ask me but I am sure this phrase should some it up; 'knowledge is power.'

  • How did Americans ever get so stupid?

  • @SlavaSovietskiSoyuza Are you a Jew.

  • @Darthvader7111 me thinkz americans is smart fellowz derp. Americans are fucking retards, deal with it.

  • @SlavaSovietskiSoyuza CNN and jersey shore oh and the kardashians

  • 1:06 untrustworthy-looking owl statue.

  • No seriously, they have it about right. People in this country are friggin clueless. Voting has turned into a who follows Christ closer and who looks good with no regard for their past actions or laws they have past. Like right now. I bet you 2/3 of the country have no clue what the NDAA even stands for much less what it contains. Same amount probably have never read the constitution. I deal with people everyday almost. And it amazing me that some people can put their own clothes on.

  • @SunofVich Not all of us I must say through they didn't even know the name Joe Biden...... (not sure if I got the spelling right exactly but I know his name) It's pretty sad that people aren't bothering to know about the wars our nation sends our own young men and women to die in all for the sake of war I guess which I think is rather foolish. We need to stop involving ourselves in war stop supporting dictators or revolutions. We need to pull out and stop making a mess of things.

  • I would say more but some things said could be misinterpreted or twisted into something it's not really. I'd really like it if more people knew of the NDAA that got signed in December 2011 that if anything is a totally unconstitutional bill to be passed.

  • Bet RT kept out those who knew the right answers. Every country has people who don't know very much.

  • @sangolt88 But not every country spreads wars and causes global economies to collapse. Ever heard the phrase "with great power comes great responsibility"? It isnt very responsible if Americans are content with all that happens and are not even educated in such things.

  • You can make any place look arbitrarily dumb just by only broadcasting the thickos who know fuck all about anything.

  • @weejockpoopongmcplop Reminds me of how american news treated the occupy movement.

  • SMART AMERICAN PEOPLE !

  • this "report" is stupid! obviously they chose the people that fit for the purposes of "reporting". Generally speaking, we just don't care about people who are not necessarily important to us.

  • It is easy to slap America after viewing this video, but how statistically valid is the sampling technique? How many intelligent & informed respondents were edited out of this beforehand?

    Point: There are many Americans (like me) who know world geography, geopolitics, history, and current events, but RT did not interview me! Another point: Most working-class Americans know only what they need to know for daily survival---They are scrambling to keep jobs, feed their kids, & pay the rent.

  • @bboucharde I know right! it it RT job to portray Americans as the above video. PMO

  • @angelbbii Yes, RT shows the bad side of life in America, and there are bad aspects. However, there is a huge, productive, & relatively prosperous middle class that lives very well by the standards of any nation. Go deep into the US heartland, far from big cities: The roads are paved, the electric service is nearly universal & is reliable. Phones work, the stores are full of food, there is no waiting to get gasoline or diesel. Police are quite courteous, & corruption among officials is rare.

  • @bboucharde RT won't do that and you know it. It's made to make American's look bad. Perhaps they should travel back to the collapsed Soviet shit hole Union and do a documentary on their poverty stricken capital (Moscow). But they won't do that. They won't talk about how Russia is arming the Syrian forces, they won't talk about Russia's milittary rusting away, and they certainly won't talk about Russia's shrinking economy. Propaganda bullshit as usual.

  • @DontTreadOnMe213 Russia does have a lot of internal problems like shrinking White Russian population, widespread pollution, huge corruption, breakaway republics in Caucasus, high murder rate (much higher than USA), high abortion rate, high male death rate, and out-of-date military. As you would expect, the military reform will be the first project---modernization, force streamlining, reforming the brutalization of recruits, and improving internal logistics, command, control, & communication.

  • But that's just how the white house wants it.it is very easy to rule loyal ignorant sheep.Knowledge therefore scares them.

  • How can people not know what Libya is?

  • Oh USA, why you so cray and stupid

  • Pakistan? Pakistan? Your seriously don't know PAKISTAN? It's where the most wanted man in the world was apparently 'hiding' and was all over the new WORLDWIDE and you don't know where it is. WOW!

  • It's a wonder that America hasn't collapsed with such stupidity.

  • @Zegsen Because of people like you, who consume our goods and services. For example, Youtube, the internet, and personalized computers. Thanks for your business asshole!

  • Russia Today is like the Russian equivalent of Fox News.

  • @cadmus98 I have watched Russia Today (funded by the Kremlin) since Day 1, and I find it interesting and often informative. BUT we must remember that its primary rhetorical mission is to portray the USA as dysfunctional, weak, & stupid. However, I could travel to any Russian city and interview workers in clubs who are drunk, ignorant, and rude. Then, back in my hotel, I could edit out any intelligent, sober responses. Then, I could send it to the Russia-haters at Fox News and get a promotion.

  • if RT asked the same questions to Russians they wouldn't get any correct answer.

    RT only included the people that didn't know the answers and ignored the ones that did know the answer.

  • @AtheistView you are a retarded racist bitch, they are asking to americans and you are excusing them with russians??

    what russians have to do with anything? just because the channel is called Russia Today? at least they have free independent media, while your cnn abs cbs fox news... oh well, go watch lindsay lowan fail the drug test or bibber and selena.

  • @FUCKisrahell

    lol "independent media". RussiaToday is not independent, it is funded by the Russian government. This channel is Putin propaganda.

  • lol.. whos president of iran... madijadajad

  • Are people really that stupid?

  • I knew all these and I'm American

  • lol im 15 and i know almost every question she asked god damn no wonder people make fun of our stupidity and weight

  • damn it new york you stereotypical americans

  • Someone took down my top comment. I'm thinking RT did it.

  • they wonder why jobs went over seas- dumb asses

  • what a dummies ! whole bunch of it !

  • People like that are the ones voting for the presidential candidates who talk about bullshit things like gays in the military and "oh im a christian vote for me". Instead they should be looking at people like Ron Paul who want to stay out of other countries affairs and fix what is wrong with out country first!.

  • @kataru19

    actually most of these people are indifferent about political issues and don't even vote.

  • lol

  • Ughhh. New York City. C'mon guys. Some of us are trying real hard to get rid of America's reputation of being stupid.

    You're not helping.

  • Omg people are sooo Ignorant

  • Comment removed

  • do you know his name?

    A: madjehfkdjkfkdhfkdjfe!!! am right?

  • A people without countless independent philosophers is a people without reason.

  • Americans are DRUGGED before Birth to Death with TOXINS in their BRAIN

  • that nigga said osama jajajahahah

  • i think generally the report was stupid but funny, specially when they tried to say ahmadinejad lol

  • hahahhahaha this is well known all over the world that americans have a lot lower iqthan polaks, americans are genuine very stupid people, as you could see what their government does with them, and they all follow like cows to the slaughter house

  • @polishadam28 And what are you then? Is everyone from your country a racist? You're more ignorant than the people shown in this video

  • @thogry67 the people in the video are not ignorant, they are called stupid americans, as 90% of americans donrt travel abroad, you dumm fucks think that just the muslim countries dont like, the whole europe laughs at you and says you are dumm fucks

  • @polishadam28 I just checked out your channel, and you're a Polish man in his 30s working as a truck driver in America. So, America sucks but you are working and living here? What's wrong with working in Poland huh tough guy? Yeah that's what I thought.

    Your country has been owned and your people slaughtered for over a century, and do you know who by...? Racists like you. Does Hitler ring a bell? Killed half of the Polish population because they are Polish?

    This just gets more ironic every day

  • @thogry67 YES HITLER RING A BELL, AND YES I DONT GIVE A FUCK HE KILLED POLES AND YES I THINK HE SHOULD OF KILLED MORE, AND YES I DRIVE HERE LOCALLY MAKING 100K PLUS A YEAR, AND YES YOUR PEOPLE SOLDIERS IF YOU WANNA CLL THEM ARE BEING SLAUGHTERED LIKE COWS I LIKE IT LOL LOL

  • @polishadam28 Psst. Guess who we're mostly descendant from? (It's the continent that starts with an "E")

    And you must have been hanging around some real morons if they can't think of a country that starts with "U". But hey, you know what they say, birds of a feather..

  • @polishadam28

    you do know that IQ has very little to nothing to do with knowledge, right?

    you're stupid and trying to accuse others of being stupid.

  • @polishadam28 Coming from the idiot who can't spell nor write a complete sentence with the proper grammar usage. Try again little one.

  • @DontTreadOnMe213 COMING FROM A IDIOT THAT HAS NEVER BEEN OUT OF THE COUNTRY, AND A MORON THAT VOTED A NIGGER INTO THE OFFICE, THE WHOLE WORLD LAUGHS AT YOU, YOU AMERICANS ARE TOTAL FUCKEN IDIOTS LIKE SEEN IN THE VIDEO ABOVE, WHAT A FUCKEN AMERICAN MORON/LOOSER DOESNT KNOW WHO IS THE VICE PRESIDENT OF THEIR COUNTRY, ANOTHER LOOK AT THE AMERICAN STUPID SOLDIER, THIS MORON DOESNT EVEN KNOW WHERE IRAN IS OR WHAT THE CAPITAL IS, AND HE BE ONE OF MANY MORONS THAT WILL BE SENT THERE

  • @polishadam28 Haha, what a fail. This is the typical response from someone who is in complete denial and has no facts or knowledge to back up his useless claims. Run along little one, before I spank you again. BTW, I've been to Europe on several occasions, as well as Canada and Mexico. Try again later.

  • @DontTreadOnMe213 NO FACTS OR KNOWLEDGE??? LOL THEN I GUESS THOSE IDIOTS THAT YOU CALL YOUR COUNTRYMEN IN THAT VIDEO WAS FAKE THEN??

    ANOTHER TYPICALL AMERICAN TRYING TO FIND A WAY TO TELL THE WORLD THAT AMERICANS ARE SMART

  • @DontTreadOnMe213 AND I HOPE HE GETS KILLED, BUHHAAAAAAAA

  • RUSSIAN TIMES! Has been crying about losing the cold war sense America invented the internet and allowed them to talk without having a hammer or sickle smashed over there head. Thanks for the russian diarrhea.

  • Russia TV (RT) = Real TV

    I am from Iraq and live in American where its people are absolutely nowhere near politics, the teaching in USA is shit and full of nonsense and media fucked Up

  • @dagdagdag Why did you come to the US and not Russia or China? Why? We invaded and dismantled your whole country so why are you here? Why did you not go to Iran or Arabi? Again why are you here if you hate us some much.

  • This is sad.

  • i been living here in the u.s.a for almost 20 years nd i have all american friends from all different walks of lives some are normall mcdonalds workers some are manufactering workers and some are high school teachers, and none of them could tell me a name of a country that starts with a letter U, they coulndt fiwure out that there is a country called united states of america, also none of them could point out where states like california or texas were when blanked out and map test, ITS VERY SAD

  • @polishadam28 Yet you still came here from your shit country and 20 years later you can almost spell! Good for you. Seriously? why don't you leave if you hate it here so much. Please leave and accomplish your goals back in your home land,

  • @intunedworld i been living here in the u.s.a for almost 20 years nd i have all american friends from all different walks of lives some are normall mcdonalds workers some are manufactering workers and some are high school teachers, and none of them could tell me a name of a country that starts with a letter U, they coulndt fiwure out that there is a country called united states of america, also none of them could point out where states like california or texas are American MORONS

  • How can they know where libya is when these dumb fucks 37% of americans cant find united states on a world map, how in the world are they gonna know where iraq is??? lol

  • Why are people angry at Russia Today

    American´s should be AGNRY AS HELL

    that your elected politicians lack of common knowledge

  • herman cain is an ignoramus

  • amerika- dumb nd dumber!

  • all rebels need to be killed

  • Stupid Americans,oh wait if it wasn't for us you wouldn't be at your computer, an American invention, making comments on youtube, an American invention, after you watch some wannabe news outlet via the miracle of the internet, which was created by the very American military you so much love to criticize. Ya were not perfect but the next time your in a car, flying 30000 feet above earth, or turn on a lightbulb, think a little instead of crying like a baby, because we invented all those too

  • @intunedworld I think people who have been Americans for more than a century are really dumb. People in the likes of Einstein, Tesla can't really be labelled as Americans. Even Tim Berners-Lee the inventor of internet came from England. America has simple become a land of great immigrants who just came few decades ago and its older immigrants don't deserve any mention.

  • @goowhite Einstein lived in the last century genius. Pun intended! I said Americans invented the internet. Yes Berners-Lee linked, another pun, the concepts together to form the World Wide Web, while working and living and using American institutions, but the "internet" is an american military invention.

  • @goowhite Stop the groundless criticism. The USA has 310 million people across more than three million square miles. It has everything from geniuses to cretins, like any large nation. Get a brain.

  • @intunedworld A few people out of millions made those inventions, you can't claim part of that credit for your whole nation, because your nation is not that special, and if they are they're degraded and labeled as nerds. The first airplane was in brazil. "wannabe news outlet" ? Anyways don't think that this video was made to just make fun of the u.s. it's constructive criticism. People say that you don't need to know these random countries we'll they're not random. Theyre countries youll invade

  • @kingcamilo  The first airplane was not in Brazil. Dont believe me? ask the Fédération Aéronautique Internationale about the Wright brothers. At least the british guy that challenge me had a point. Your just a loser. Why dont you worry about not humiliating yourself in front of the world during the World Cup and Olympics and not you tube.

  • Only in the land where pizza comes faster than an ambulance, and an ambulance cost like 500 dollars, and they think America is a country (instead of a continent dividied in three subcontinents) but they get angry if you misspelled something in their (not their but...) language.

    Cheers.

  • @ArgieGamer Where pizza comes faster than an ambulance, ha! Can I steal that? I'm afraid this country will stupidly slouch into another war while too many of the people are watching sports on TV. God help us!

  • @ArgieGamer then what do you call a person who is from the usa?

    ( inb4 witty comeback )

  • @ArgieGamer $500??? i wish , last trip to the hospital via ambulance to get stitches cost $4000

  • @ArgieGamer Actually, it's two continents - North and South

  • @htiberian Excepting the United States of America and Canada, the Americas are viewed as a single continent (named America). It is composed of the subcontinents of North America and South America, the land bridge of Central America, and the islands of the Antillas.

  • @ArgieGamer What about Greenland, Isn't that a subcontinent?

  • @htiberian Greenland autonomous country. Though physiographically a part of the continent of North America, Greenland has been politically and culturally associated with Europe. For more than a millennium. Greenland is, by area, the world's largest island that is not a continent.

    I love Geography books and Wikipedia. Your lack of knowledge is disturbing.

  • @ArgieGamer Whoa there! No need to be a dickhole. Greenland IS a subcontinent AND a country, but I didn't ask you if it was an autonomous country. I love geography too, but I stay away from Wikipedia because it isn't always accurate. Your lack of good sources is disturbing.

  • @htiberian But I am not the dickhole you are with your ceaseless gestapo questioning.

    good luck raising your self confidence by trolling other people.

    Last message.

    Cheers!

  • @ArgieGamer I will not have someone out-troll me! Trolling does raise my self confidence, especially when the people I troll are wrong. NOBODY ON YOU TUBE MUST BE WRONG!

  • How about we go to Moscow and see that the average Emegency 911 response time is over an hour, and ask whether the people would like Geography classes or Ambulance funding. Geography tests in the world of Smart phones, really RT? what's next a spelling test? lol

  • Walk around any city and you'll probably find some unintelligent people. Most people in the world are just concerned with their everyday lives. If you think NYC is bad, go down South. You walk around talking about Iraq and Uzbekistan you'd probably just get the finger.

  • I think you cherry picked people for this. As an American i knew every answer except the one about "Uzbekistan"

    Had to google that one.

  • This is Scary Stupid. Not even funny. Stupid americans creating wars in countries they don't know and besides they don't even care! Shame on You America. Shame!

  • Comment removed

  • @MsLenepigen

    lol the 5 people they interviewed to represent the whole American population don't declare wars and make decisions, in fact, they don't even vote.

  • HOW DO YOU SPELL IRAN?

  • "Amejedaad"

  • our stupidity is our strength.

    

  • Who cares. We got sh

    We got sh#t going on RIGHT HERE ! and they don't care about us just our money.

  • IRAQ Middle ease, East Asia= Forced to Mary a pedophile while westerners pay for his wives to chill out on welfare staying pretty. I hate there religion it's oppressive and violent and disgusting like the nasty pigs they are with.

    we are too busy to know more.

  • I would love to go to Russia and ask them what the capital of Ecuador is. EVERY country has citizens that are ignorant about geography, politics and world history. FUCK RT.

  • @RustyyShackleford

    Problem: Other countries in the world do have their ignorant masses, but, before you go bashing RT completely. Think about the fact that their are over 10,000 cctv cameras in London and only about 2 out of 10 respondents knew about their presence in full. And that was Britain. I have to argue though that because The United States focuses more and more on capitalism and less and less on educating its masses, the more we are going to see this incompetence.

  • @RustyyShackleford These aren't random countries their talkin about haha. Go to Cuba they'll answer all of these. A lot smarter than americans while they criticize their life style. weird huh

  • This is scarier than terrorism itself.

  • The majority of Americans are like cattle, u feed them, milk them and repeat. Morons. Its not their fault, its the media CNN and Fox that shows nonsense on their TV's

    What a zombie nation. No wonder its easy for the US government to go to war with any other country. no resistance from it people. They just nod and get on with their lives!

  • never mind all that, whens american gladiators on?

  • It's not only Americans who doesn't know much about the world, the people in general regardless of their nationalities are unfortunately not cultured. What is even worse is the fact that as the guy points out in the video 'It's not the fact that he doesn't know, it's the fact that he doesn't think he should look it up.' People don't know shit and they don't feel bad about it at all. No wonder there are so many idiots in the world in an age where access to information is easier than ever.

  • Comment removed

  • i think it would be nice, if they did that in st petersburg or moscow too, to see how ignorant people are there as well. this news channel is a joke.

  • @Malhawat agreed it goes looking for aliens sometimes lol

  • RT reporters are the best at walking and talking at the same time.Nobody in the business does it any better.

  • i am from Libya and i have many American friends from NYC and they are intelligent and kind people and most of them know about every thing that is happening in the middle east so wake up people rt is a Russian channel (Russian) they will never say that Americans are smart or Libyans are heroes or Syrians are brave no they say the opposite (Americans are stupid and racist Libyans are thugs and Syrian rebels are terrorists ) and they clearly cut out smart people that responded a smart response

  • @psasy2012

    Well, you also have to account for the fact that your friends can be a minority group; they may be your friends because they are smart and informed, or _vice versa_. I can't speak for NYC, but my experience is that most people could not answer these questions, just as RT has pointed out. This isn't to say that New Yorkers or even Americans are all stupid, but we Americans tend to have an atrociously poor knowledge of foreign affairs.

  • Comment removed

  • Typical Americans living in their own little bubble!

  • @s1nas1 Yeah, they live in a bubble, true talk!

  • I have visited New York twice now and have found New Yorkers intelligent. They are the Americans who actually know something about the rest of the world and speak other languages. I think these most of people in the video were probably tourists. Also they definitely didn't show the people who got the right answers. Excuse my English.

  • @PianoPeter54 new yorkers are idiots man

  • @hammerandsickle13 might just be plain ignorance

  • i love how stupid alot of americans are

  • more people know who the quarterback is for the saints than who the president is of the country we may go into war with...ignorant Americans

  • And I thought it was just small town ignorance.
